Cozy Comedic Adult Fantasy
(On Submission)
Athragast is an average wizard, and after years of drudgery, all he wants is to retire on a beach–preferably somewhere off the magical grid.
The Academy selects Athragast (everyone else was busy) for a straight-cut mission with a large enough payout to fund his retirement. Determined to have a fate different from most other wizards (who tended to fall off towers or get kidnapped), Athragast agrees to go on one last quest to defeat an old nemesis. All he needs is a hero to facilitate his success.
